Iraq War: Was it worth it?

[dragonrider]

Here is a benchmark after a day of polling:

2 say "Yes, the war it was worth it" (15.38%)
11 say "No, the war was not worth it" (84.62%)

With this very small sample of canncom respondents, the results show less support than a CBS poll found among Americans in general: Poll: Most Americans Say War Not Worth It, 64 Percent Say Results Of War Not Worth American Lives Lost - CBS News

According to that CBS poll, 29% think it was worth it, and 64% think not. This is actually up form March 2006, when only one in four Americans said the war was worth the costs --- that was surprising to me.

Anyway, I hope a few more canncom members chime in on this important question.

Another benchmark:

2 say "Yes, the war it was worth it" (11.76%)
15 say "No, the war was not worth it" (88.24%)

Oh, no! Support is slipping!

Was it worth it? It's certainly not over yet, even after 5 years, so it is too early to say for sure if it was worth it --- it will definitely cost more lives and money before it's over, and the outcome could be better or worse than it is today. But at this point what do you think? If you vote in the poll, please post something about why you think what you do. Something like Rating: 5
